| - THRUST is a quiet, self-effacing guy. He’d rather his actions speak for him, and he firmly believes in a policy of optics on, mouth shut. Although a generally pleasant fellow, he prefers to remain in the background, and oftentimes his friends don’t even realize he’s there. Only in battle does Thrust stand out. His courage is legendary, and he’d gladly lay down his life to save a comrade or innocent if necessary. After missions he prefers not to make a big deal about it, and gets embarrassed if given too much praise.

| - THRUST is a quiet, self-effacing guy. He’d rather his actions speak for him, and he firmly believes in a policy of optics on, mouth shut. Although a generally pleasant fellow, he prefers to remain in the background, and oftentimes his friends don’t even realize he’s there. Only in battle does Thrust stand out. His courage is legendary, and he’d gladly lay down his life to save a comrade or innocent if necessary. After missions he prefers not to make a big deal about it, and gets embarrassed if given too much praise. In jet mode, THRUST is a multi-role fighter, capable of ground attack, reconnaissance, and air defense missions with stealth capability. A lift fan near the front of his aircraft mode provides him short take off and vertical-landing (STOVL) capabilities. His engine delivers over 60 percent more thrust than most Decepticon fighters, allowing him to reach his maximum speed of over Mach 1.6 in less than half the time it takes other fighters. Thrust uses this ability to take point in most attack raids, drawing fire away from other Decepticons. In both modes Thrust can use a silent four-barrel 25 mm cannon; in jet mode he additionally carries an array of air-to-air missiles (AAM), cruise missiles and guided bombs. Although his courage is inspiring, Thrust is naturally shy in social situations, and his relatively low self-esteem limits his effectiveness as a leader. Also, in jet mode Thrust has multiple thermal management problems, and overusing his afterburner can damage him severely.
